The Glass Strawberry Bracelet you see here features one of my handmade glass ripe strawberries paired with a dark green handmade glass leaf. The strawberry is about 13mm high. Both charms are suspended on Sterling Silver figure-eight chain. The copper wire stem of the strawberry is embedded inside the glass and cannot be pulled free. Like real strawberries, each of mine is made with dozens of individual seeds set into tiny depressions on its surface. The leaves of the strawberry have been melted onto the surface and their tips slightly rounded so they will not chip or snag on clothing. These beads are hand-formed in the flame of a torch from colored glass. As a result, the color will not rub, flake or chip off, and no two strawberries are exactly alike.
The standard length for the figure-eight chain you see above is 8 inches and it is finished with a lobster clasp. You may wear it at any length you please by clipping the lobster into the link of your choice. The free end of the chain is finished with a small matching glass leaf. Different lengths and clasp styles are available by special order. Like all of my jewelry, this design is available in both Sterling Silver and 14/20 Gold-Filled. You can see matching strawberry jewelry by viewing the Strawberries Page of this site.
Strawberry jewelry can also be custom made with high-karat gold or platinum findings and accented with Swarovski Crystal or gemstone beads. Some examples can be viewed on the Custom Jewelry Page.
